So I got myself a Deck as an early Hanukkah gift and so far I am loving it. I am also, however, as computer illiterate as a man 10-20 years my senior and know basically nothing about Linux. Like I see the github link for some stuff and some other things and have no idea how to parse like half of it. Is there any sort of complete idiot step-by-step guide on how to do some stuff like get emulation, compatibility, and other games lik Ship of Harkinian running? Apologies for my ignorance. Also! Uh, the discord link in the op seems bork.

deong posted:EMUDeck is stupid easy. Ah, thank you. I was under the impression Retroarch was better? S'what some folks told me. Do I need an SD card? I bought the middle level deck since I don't have a good SD card atm. Well, I do, but it's already on my Switch duty.

Thanks for the input! So what are some good SD cards, or is the OP still accurate in that regard, even if it's out of date on some things (Discord).

Getting an 'invalid or expired' link when I try and join the discord. So either it's a bad link now, or something is up with discord on my end, despite everything else working just fine.

So I just installed the Heroic launcher to get my GoG crap on my Deck. Do I need to launch the games from Heroic every time, or can I add them to Steam like other games - or would I add Heroic? I just like being able to launch everything directly from the Gaming Mode.

So as another question before bed; as I wait for my sd card to arrive so I can get into emulation proper, are there any other non-emulator based goon-approved classic games reccomendations that work well on the Deck lik Ship of Harkinian and that Mario one? Wasn't there some decompiled Goldeneye or Perfect Dark a while back?

So I got 1964 GEPD running and while the game runs fine in the sense that everything ostensibly works and boots, I notice it's a bit choppy and seems to skip/stutter at times. Both games. I have had no problem with Ship of Harkinian. Is there a fix or something I've done wrong, or is GEPD just not as good on Steam Deck?

Hey, so, not sure where to ask this - I didn't see a general emulation thread - but like with Ship of Harkinian and how it works, can you use that as like a general emulator for Zelda OOT stuff? What I mean is like, if I plop down a romhack into the rom I'm running SoH off of, would I be able to play that romhack with all the amazing QoL stuff in SoH or no? Like the text speed and other little stuff is nice, but holy gently caress is the free camera a game changer. Like I feel like I never really actually played the game before. I honestly do not believe I could ever enjoy playing OOT again without freecam. It's wild.

Ah, okay, thanks. I wasn't sure precisely how much information the thing took from the rom. Ah well. But yeah, just reiterating that if you have a Deck and any appreciation for OOT, the game runs beautifully.

So idiot with no experience with Linux with three I'm sure very dumb questions 1. Is there a more up-to-date guide on emulation than the one in the wiki? Like just a little confused about what all the options and stuff do in the emudeck installer thing. 2. https://alephone.lhowon.org/games/infinity.html Trying to get Aleph One running up on this. How do I ./configure && make && make install ? Like how do I run things in the terminal? 3. I can't seem to find the way to make Heroic games from GoG launch in Steam

So setting up EmuDeck and I see on the parser list some games have multiple options - like Mamehas the standlone, the retroarch, the retroarch 2003+ etc. Is there a guide anywhere with quick descriptions of each and why I would maybe want one over the other? I'm a bit lost.

So the emulator is insiting none of my Xbox ISOs work. I assume they are not the right xiso format, or is there something else I am doing wrong? It keeps saying 'please insert disc' If it's the former, is there a converter for linux, or do I need to move these files to my desktop, convert them, then move them back to my deck?

Thank you! Now I just need to figure out how to do all that because I am a computer idiot. Also someone should probably mention that on the emulation page on the wiki.

So few quick questions 1. I notice Xbox classic emulation seems trash. Is this because of Xemu or the Deck? 2. Yeah, reiterating; has anyone gotten 1964 GEPD running on this without issues? Mine seemed choppy when I tried and curious what you did. 3. Speaking of running stuff on this; anyone try Open X-Com yet? The idea of mobile X-Com appeals to me, but not sure how it would run.

I thought even JSRF - that's one of the main things I wanted - was kinda jank. How come Xbox emulation is still so wonky? Wasn't the Xbox the first console to be basically 'literally just a lovely and highly specialized PC'? Like shouldn't Xbox emulation be trivially simple?

Quantum of Phallus posted:Has anyone installed this mod for Chrono Trigger on Deck? Why would you play the modern version when you can just play the emulated PSX version - the best as I recall since it had the uncensored Woolsey script plus the Toriyama FMVs - when or an emulated version of the original SNES one, with or without retranslation patches? Legit asking, not trying to be a snarky rear end in a top hat elitist here. What does the modern version add, I thought it was generally poorly received?

So I never played Xenogears as a kid and finally want to rectify that. I know that like a lot of the Square games at the time, it has a translation that is full of changes both deliberate and unintentional. Is there a uncensoring/fan translation patch for it - Romhacking.net just seems to have undubs - or should I just go in raw and blind?

So I notice that there doesn't seem to be an option for Xenia/360 emulatin in Emudeck despite the Steam Rom Manager having a thing for 360 games. Is my brain smoother and smaller than even I thought, or is this a legit thing?

Heran Bago posted:There are multiple Mario 64 decompilations now. I have heard good things about Mario 64 plus. I suggest Mario 64 ex+. I am personally using Render 96, which replaces models and textures with something like the style of the official renders. As a quick rundown, what are the differences between Plus and Ex+? And does Render96 do anything besides graphics? Like one of the nicest things about Ship of Harkinian is all the little QOL stuff. Like honestly having the free camera controlled by the right analog is such a loving amazing game-changer (hah!) I legitimately do not believe I could ever play OOT/MM again in their original form and enjoy it.

I suppose you could try adding it to Steam as a game? But yeah, it force-closes Steam if you have it open, so I'm going to venture a guess and say no. It's real useful when you have a shitload of games to add, but sometimes it's obnoxious when it's like 'I just added/removed one rom, please!'

Speaking of how the gently caress; https://www.reddit.com/r/timesplitters/comments/f3m9tt/release_timesplitters_2_hd_dolphin_emulator/ So I got this and also the similar HD pack for Legacy of Kain on the Dreamcast. Since the emudeck does some stuff differently, does anyone know where to put these files since yeah?

Thank you! Just two quick questions about enabling the custom textures; 1. Do I have to do that every time, or does it remember? 2. Similarly, if I launch Timesplitters 2 straight from Steam do I need to do it? Or can I do it in the Dolphin launched from steam, since I am unsure with my current controller setup how the gently caress to get the dolphin GUI to show up because my brain is tiny and smooth like a beautiful marble. edit: hrm. not seeing that folder although I found the dolphin poo poo. but no user. And the TS2 one wants 'Dolphin Emulator\Load\Texture' The Legacy of Kain FWIW is Dreamcast. RoboChrist 9000 fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Jan 24, 2023 |

Makes sense. So to install something like this https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-CD-11-Decompilation we just basically right click 'open terminal' and cut-paste-enter those commands? Although I'm hearing from a friend that these wouldn't work on steamos for some reason?

So I recently had to send my Deck off for repairs and they sent me it back factory reset - or more likely just sent me a new one I imagine. Anyway, since then, I've noticed Conker's Bad Fur Day, and the romhack of Gruntylvania - both of which worked and I played before my deck got a fresh install/replacement from Valve - don't seem to run anymore. I just get a black screen but hear the game sound just fine. I'm using retroarch in the Emudeck. I don't recall having set up anything special to make them run earlier - although maybe I did and forgot - but yeah. Anyone know what might be up? EDIT: Just tried some of the other roms I have. It seems to be all of them. I tried Goemon so I know it's not just expansion pack games. RoboChrist 9000 fucked around with this message at 05:31 on May 16, 2023 |

Ah, thanks. Where in Retroarch would those settings be? Not seeing them from the main menu thing. EDIT: Do notice when I was poking around, it says that the Dreamcast BIOS is missing.

S recently got some GOG games and even with heroic they seem to run poorly or not at all. I know they are viable in lutris but never used that before. I installed it and pointed it to the place heroic installed the games, but it can't seem to recognize them. What gives?
